To Whom It May Concern

re: Response to Identity Requests

.

In the past 72 hours, M.E. has received six unprecedented requests to reveal Vigilis's identity, or personal information that would lead to same. Of those who have recently attempted to pry, 2 were identified with opposing (left wing) political camps, one calls himself Sayed M, another is aonymous, and only one identified himself.

.

If Vigilis had ever wanted his identity revealed publicly, it would have been published long ago.

.

Suffice it to say that certain individuals in various levels of government, the military, law enforcement, and the blogging community know his identity and are able to attest that he is a decent American citizen who has served government honorably in a variety of roles. We believe he deserves continued anonymnity.

Submarines are always silent and strange.
